Many
children graduate from high school with inadequate reading and
writing skills.

Did
you know 1 in 5 American adults - 20% - are functionally illiterate?
Studies indicate 13% of American adults do not read at all or
fall below the 4th grade level.

Indianas
illiteracy rate is only slightly better than the national average.
But only slightly. People who lack the basics of reading and
writing cannot compete successfully for jobs and other opportunities.

Our
Mission:

Identify
adults with reading needs, whether it is basic reading or a need
to prepare for a
GED-based program!

Train tutors to be volunteers of purpose!

Help
students to become self-sufficient making life better for the
adult learner!

TWO
WAYS YOU CAN HELP:

Help us teach. We will be looking for competent people who can
volunteer an hour or so a week to act as tutors. We will provide
basic training.

Help
us find the people who need help. Many people who struggle with
literacy are embarrassed and reluctant to ask for help. It is
nothing to be ashamed about. Do you know someone who needs our
help? The program will be personalized and confidential. A willing
person can make significant progress. And, they will always be
grateful to the person who taught them.

ALL
of us can make a difference!

We
would like to give a special "Thank You" to all of
those who participated in Tutor Training!
